What's wrong with white butter
and why can't I live in Italy and get 42 vacation days a year.
I'm going to have Emily and Connor write down all 293 ways to make change for a dollar - that should keep them busy for a while :) hee hee hee

Can you hear the WHINING now???
How about that Ben Franklin - invented the rocking chair so his wife could make unwhite butter while she knitted. What a thinker. For those that don't know, he put a barrel filled with cream across the back of the rockers, so when she rocked the cream churned, turning into butter. Talk about energy conservation and alternative fuel sources.
